Default Tein Coilover Basics

Okay, so i just installed my tein coilover basics on my 09 Tc. It looks great and all but my front left tire/spring keeps making this clicking noice. Its like the spring or metal is rubbing. The noice only occurs when i hit bumps. It's kind of annoying, do you know what I could have done wrong? Also, how can this be fixed?

There's actually a rubber silencer you can buy from Tein...aptly called Silencer Rubber (Tadaa! lol!) But I haven't seen or heard anyone here who have used it on a coilover (it's intended for lowering springs, but ask Tein to be sure) Here's the link http://www.tein.com/products/silencer_rubber.html

I just called tein and emailed them to see if that Silencer Rubber would work for me. Has anyone else had any issues with Coilover basics? If so, how did you fix it?

This is pretty annoying! I want it to work.

Best bet is to pull it out and completely reinstall that side to see whats up. I'll be installing my basics next week and I'll report back if I have the same problem.
